When to have your 2nd child?

I had a winter baby (July 2009), so would love another winter baby, so we might be trying for another at the end of this year then the two of them would be just under or just over 2 years apart. If we don't succeed (since it took 3years8months to conceive the first one) we will stop as I really can't have a Des/Jan/Feb baby!

Juno, i'm having my second one later this year, the two kiddies will be 16 months apart. We didn't plan this pregnancy, I just stopped breastfeeding and was switching birthcontrol, but in all honesty, I really did want another baby... And although I know it won't be easy, I know it will be allright and that I will love them both endlessly.

So if you feel like its time to make it happen, just go for it, in the end you will cope...

Not sure where this topic flls under. In any case..

I'm curious to know from the mums with 2 or more kids what factors were taken into consideration in deciding when to have the 2nd one.

I have a 5 month old and am starting to think about the when for my 2nd. The thought of having 2 under 2 yrs however is rather daunting but I don't have age on my side..
